CWE-119

Description

A buffer overflow flaw was found in X.Org and Xwayland. If XkbChangeTypesOfKey() is called with a 0 group, it will resize the key symbols table to 0 but leave the key actions unchanged. If the same function is later called with a non-zero value of groups, this will cause a buffer overflow because the key actions are of the wrong size.

Affected configurations

• tigervnc tigervnc • x.org x server (< 21.1.16) • x.org xwayland (< 24.1.6) • redhat enterprise linux 7.0 • redhat enterprise linux 8.0 • redhat enterprise linux 9.0
